Quick Transmigration: Can This Kind of Scum Become the Chosen One?

Chapter 234 Childhood Sweetheart, Female Educated Youth 18

This winter is exceptionally cold.

It's snowing outside.

Bai Chenggong put on all his clothes, but even lying in bed, he still felt bone-chillingly cold.

Because he didn't have a cotton quilt, his mother only prepared a thin quilt for him.

He wrote back saying it was cold and he didn't have a thick blanket.

Bai's mother didn't send it to him either.

She said that her mother took the thick cotton quilt at home to refurbish it for her second brother's wedding.

Bai Chenggong only had one old cotton-padded coat.

This old cotton coat was given to him by Jiang He before.

It was winter, and he was dressed very lightly.

Shivering in the cold wind.

Jiang He gave him the gloves so that his hands wouldn't crack from the wind while riding his bike.

Give him the scarf to protect him from the cold wind.

Later, I gave him this cotton coat.

Jiang He left him the cotton she had used to make her own cotton-padded clothes.

That was his first new outfit.

Previously, he always wore his brothers' hand-me-downs.

He desperately wished he could grow taller, much taller.

That means he got to wear the new clothes first.

But later he learned that even though he was taller than his second brother, Mother Bai would still only dress his second brother in new clothes, while he could only wear old clothes with sleeves and trouser legs attached.

Bai's mother would keep nagging him, saying, "Why are you so tall? You can't even wear clothes."

Why did you do this to him?

Bai Chenggong lay in bed and looked out the window at several people having a snowball fight.

Bai Chenggong looked at his feet.

The wound on my foot has healed.

However, it also left behind some aftereffects.

You can't put weight on this foot.

That means he'll be a cripple from now on.

Moreover, he couldn't lift heavy objects, couldn't do heavy work, couldn't even walk fast, and couldn't stand for long periods of time.

What's the difference between that and a useless person?

After the Chinese New Year, Bai successfully applied to return home.

He can no longer do many jobs.

Without earning work points, they couldn't even afford to fill their stomachs.

Bai Chenggong went back.

Unexpectedly, he was the first educated youth to return.

Bai Chenggong has already written home.

But there was no reply from home.

No one came to pick him up.

It was as if he had been completely forgotten.

Jiang Jiangang came to visit Jiang He.

On the way back, Jiang Jiangang helped Bai Chenggong carry his luggage, and the two went back together.

Jiang He saw Jiang Jiangang off to the car as before.

Bai Chenggong went to find Jiang He and apologized to her.

The educated youth had many opportunities to use her.

Jiang He neither accepted the apology nor forgave him.

Bai Chenggong had long known from Jiang He's attitude during this period that Jiang He would not forgive him.

She was in the wrong first, so it's understandable that she's unwilling to forgive herself.

I hope she can be happy here after I leave.

When Bai Chenggong got home, he found that the letters he had sent were still stuffed in the mailbox by the door.

Bai's mother never read the letters he sent back.

And it seems there's no longer a place for him in the family.

He originally lived in the same house as his second brother.

But now, none of his belongings are left in that house.

Instead, a double bed was installed.

There was also some brand-new furniture in the room.

The character for "happiness" is pasted on it.

Is his second brother getting married?

His bed was moved to the living room to store miscellaneous items.

Bai Chenggong's luggage could only be left at the door.

Bai's mother has disappeared.

Bai Chenggong could only sit in the living room, waiting for them to return.

Let's see how they plan to arrange their lives.

Bai's mother greeted people cheerfully as she entered her home.

"Come to the wedding banquet then!" Bai's mother said to someone as she turned around.

"Oh dear, what is this thing? It was left at the door and made me trip and fall."

Bai's mother didn't watch where she was going and tripped over Bai Chenggong's luggage as she came in.

Bai's mother angrily kicked the luggage and spat on it.

"Mom, you're back."

Bai Chenggong looked at the new enamel basin, towel, toothbrush, toothpaste, and soap in his mother's hands.

They are all in pairs.

Is this prepared for his second brother?

It seems my second brother is about to have a good thing happen.

"Oh my god, that scared me to death."

Bai's mother was startled by Bai Chenggong. She didn't expect anyone to be in the house, let alone that Bai Chenggong would be there.

Upon seeing that it was Bai Chenggong, Bai's mother scolded him again in a bad mood.

"Mom, aren't you happy that I'm back?"

Bai Chenggong paid no attention to his mother's cursing.

From childhood to adulthood, this is how Bai's mother has always spoken to him.

"Why are you back? What are you doing back? When are you going back?"

Bai's mother glanced at the luggage by the door. Could it be that Bai Chenggong brought it back?

Isn't he going back? Why did he bring all his luggage here?

The second son is getting married soon, wouldn't Bai Chenggong's return at this time just cause trouble?

With people coming and going, it's so inconvenient for him to sleep in the living room.

When is my second brother getting married?

Bai's mother gave an irrelevant answer, so Bai Chenggong turned his attention to his second brother's marriage.

"My second son is getting married the day after tomorrow, so things have been quite busy at home lately. If you're busy there, you should go back soon."

Bai Chenggong looked at his mother and smiled.

"Mom, what are you talking about going back or not?"

Now that I'm back, of course I'm not leaving again.

My second brother is getting married, so I'll help him out.

"What did you say? You're not going back?"

Bai's mother's sharp voice pierced his eardrums, making Bai Chenggong's head ache.

This hurts even more than having your foot pierced.

That evening, the rest of the Bai family returned home.

Father Bai, Mother Bai, Eldest Bai, Sister-in-law Bai, and Second Bai.

Five people sat opposite Bai Chenggong.

Bai's mother has been busy worrying about Bai Lao Er's marriage lately, and hasn't even read the letters Bai Chenggong sent back.

The last letter was from Bai Chenggong, who said it was cold and he didn't have a thick quilt, and he wanted his mother to send it to him.

The next day, Bai's mother took the quilt to be refurbished.

Bai's mother didn't even read the letters Bai Chenggong sent later.

So they didn't know that Bai Chenggong had returned.

Bai Chenggong looked at the five people opposite him; their expressions were not good.

Deep down, I knew they were looking down on me.

Because I have injured my foot.

I came home just to freeload.

Because all the rooms in the house had been allocated, there was no place for him to stay.

So, nobody wanted me to come back.

But since Bai Chenggong had already returned, he had no choice but to stay.

It's impossible for Bai Lao Er to move back into that room.

That's the wedding room prepared for Bai Lao Er.

The day after tomorrow, Bai Lao Er's wife will move in.

There will definitely be many people at home, so Bai Chenggong can't just sleep in the living room.

With people coming and going, and the living room needed to entertain guests, what kind of behavior is it for him to lie down here?

In the end, Bai Chenggong was assigned to the storage room next to the balcony.

The storage room was so small that even Bai Chenggong's small bed could only fit half of it.

There's still half a photo on the balcony.

A curtain was drawn to the side, and Bai Chenggong slept on this side.

He just threw his luggage here.

Bai Chenggong huddled in the cramped space, listening to the dripping sound of his clothes, and took out the money from his bag, hiding it inside his clothes.

This money came from selling his remaining grain to Gu Jianhua.

If Bai's mother had helped him pack his luggage, she would have seen the money.

Bai Chenggong doesn't want to give this money to his mother now.
